Spiritland Bistro

After waiting nearly an hour for two sandwiches we finally had to let them know we needed our lunches to go, after waiting another 20 minutes for them to pack it up for us we got back to our office and realized they messed up our order and the portions were miniscule. The service was unbelievably slow, they didn't seem to care and didn't even appologize! The food was so terrible we ended up throwing it away. more

Based on other reviews, we tried the Spiritland Bistro on our recent getaway to Santa Barbara and had a pleasant experience. Entrees were $16-$25. They offer a more organic upscale dining experience than the usual hippie Vegan/Organic casual places. The food presentation is artistic. The restaurant is small but sweet in the decor. Our waitress was very accomodating and friendly. The Asian stir fry entree I had was very average (as a Vegan I don't consider cutting up tofu and putting it with vegetables and rice Vegan cooking as there is so much more to being Vegan than baked tofu), however, I will say that I had the best Vegan chocolate cake of my life there! And my boyfriend thought the milkshake he had was the best ever - so this romantic little hideaway gets an A+ for sweets. Pros: Best Vegan Dessert Ever! Best Milkshake! Charming atmosphere. Friendly & Very Attentive Waitstaff Cons: Vegan Entree was very average more
